Actually... I'm leaning toward Viking's explanation above.

Now, by using the Dictator and the Mechanics Drone they can further increase the fund before leaving it to the big boss. 
Alone the Dictator and the Mechanics Drone are not as efficient as collecting the whole battle fund.

Why thank someone who broke it in first place? It was an obligation to fix it and not something "nice"

say goodbye to discounted upgrades with this update. Now you will spent more than you earn.

So there are only two choices now. Either buy stuff or be a target practice for buyers.

You need to visit the shop and scroll to the top (orange background. aka showcase) where all the discount are.

The set change every 12 hours, and you could have from zero to 3 product kits that you can buy with crystals (in the picture above there were 2). The rest is kit that you can buy with Tankions or other offers.

This is good to know, but I don't see any product kits for crystals right now...many for Tankoins with some even on sale for Tankoins or real money, but no kits that can be purchased with crystals.

 

This is a game changer if you can't buy kits with crystals.

Dude, just wait when the timer goes or wait tomorrow.

Both time and date are correct in your PC?

Did you try to clean the browser cache?

Why am I in the same battles as M7's when I'm only third Lieutenant?  I have a fully upgraded Titan M4 and get killed with ease.  One shot from Smoky without double armour takes half of my energy/power (or whatever it's called).

 

Example from the last game is this user has M7 Rail as first Lieutenant.  How? https://ratings.tankionline.com/en/user/unistal

Lots of (but not all I think) M2 10/10 equipment got converted to Mk7. My M1 10/10 Smokies got converted to Mk6.

 

No change in stats / same as old M3 or M2 respectively, but now able to MU instead of having to wait to rank up.

 

So my lowest ranked account (3rd LT) can MU its Smoky up to Mk7 (M3) if I want to, don't have to wait until I get to Colonel any more.

 

And supply addicts like this player - link - can upgrade to Mk8 (M4).

 

Conversions should be have been to Mk5 10/10 for M1 10/10 and Mk6 10/10 for M2 10/10

 

One of my accounts has suffered a lot from not getting to Captain rank (unlike my forum one) before the last 50% sale, could have got M2 Thunder and Hammer modules for 50K each and upgraded them to 30% before the update (now converted to Mk6).

Why is it like this though?

 

This guy (only 1 rank ahead of me) just killed me at will with M7 Gauss/M6 Titan when I can't even buy an M5 Gauss/M5 Titan until Captain rank which is 3 ranks away.

If you go back to the first post in this thread, there's a link to the conversion table

 

Titan M1/10 was converted to Mk6 and Gauss M2/10 was converted to Mk7.

 

I think they bought the old Dancer product kit (available from WO4, shop only), M2 Gauss & Hunter plus Disco paint (which they have) and fully upgraded the Gauss to M2 10/10 (M2 Hunter wasn't converted to M6 until M2 4/10)

Yes I've seen the conv chart, just don't understand why the game has to be so unbalanced now.  It's not fun battling with others when your tank/turret ect is this much weaker.

They botched the conversion by making m2.10 into m7.0.  There was no need to do that.  Should have made it mk6.10.  Players that could not upgrade further should not be able to upgrade immediately after conversion unless they ranked up accordingly.

My Freeze M2 still M1, why?

Because your Freeze's parameters are aligned with being an Mk3 turret. The update makes it so that Mk 2 and 3 would have a visually M1 skin. Your Freeze is Mk3, thus it would have an M1 skin after the change. 

[Masterpro08 8]

I understand more of these modification after watching the V-log and watching the conversion table. There's only one problem with the new modification. One turret and most of the hulls don't show the level at the bottom right of the turret/hulls in the garage. I can only see the name of the tank at the bottom left and a picture of the turret/hull.

It happens at the follow turrets/hulls:

• Gauss
• Titan
• Mammoth
• Hornet
• Viking
• Wasp

In addition, the turret/hull seems less upgraded regarding to the skin. It's like the old skin from the previous modification.

Is there anybody who knows more about it and/or does have the same effect.

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

The only good thing about this update for me is that I get a free m7 hunter.

[ERADICATIONNATION 185]

Alright...I don't see what the point of this is. You guys make the claim that this change will allow a better flowing upgrade path, but really there's not much difference between this and the previous system. In fact, at a glance, it seems worse. Before the update, I had a fully MU'd Viking M1 on my alt account. Theoretically, I could have had a fully MU'd M2 after reaching the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Now I have to wait until Major General to reach the new Mk6 level, however, which is inferior to the old M3 level. 

 

I dunno man, this just seems silly, especially if you're gonna make every tank look the same regardless of level. All this seems to do is make the game more convoluted than it already is. Why not just decrease some of the XP requirements between ranks if you're concerned about players getting bored with stagnant accounts? 

 

Oh, I forgot one thing. Needing to buy every prior upgrade to reach a certain level? That really sucks. That's a clear downgrade, guys, a removal of a solution that was implemented years ago.

1. The new modification system was implemented to address the issue of people (mostly skilled players and buyers) purchasing equipment kits at a far lower rank and then upgrading them fully to the next modification. So basically there were M1s are Recruit, M2s at Sergeant and M3s at Warrant Officers that were ruining the gameplay of others. With this update, they can still buy that kit/equipment, but cannot upgrade it completely to the next modification (of older systems). For example, M1s (now Mk3s) can't be upgraded to M2s (now Mk5s) before ranking up and unlocking the Mk4 modification.

 

2. That was older news. The skins (M0, M1, M2 and M3) have now been distributed among the new 7 modifications and there is not going to be a single skin.

 

3. The price of singular modifications has been reduced since instead of 4, there are 7 modifications (an Mk3 module does not cost the original 30k, the price of old M1 modules). To compensate for this, it has again been made such that you need to buy all previous modifications to purchase that equipment. This is strange since, as you said, it's basically reverting an update. You can still buy product kits having the equipment you need (if you're lucky enough to have them available in your shop showcase for crystals at the time), and get the Turret, Hull and Module at that modification without bearing the cost of older ones.

 

Hopefully, things that got botched up will get fixed soon.

If you play against opponents with M7 equipment, you should be able to buy M7!  Or at least M6.  Seems pretty simple, and I don't understand why it's set up where I'm battling against M7's and can't even buy M5 until three more ranks...taking away some of the fun.

 

Good thing there still are some players in my position that I have a chance to beat 1 vs 1.  I'm considering abandoning account.

Why?   Even before this update If you are say 4 ranks below someone in your battle, they could easily have equipment you don't have.

The only reason you are currently using mk4 equipment vs mk7 is because of the conversion.  They botched that... all m2.10 should have been coverted to mk6.10

 

The new system was designed so old m1s don't have to fight old m2.10 (mk6.10) which is a much greater power gap than will be allowed going forward.
